A mounting device (1) for adjustable mounting of an object on a wall comprises a housing (3), comprising a body (5) and a lid (7). The body (5) is adapted for being mounted on the wall. The device (1) further comprises a substantially vertically extending adjustment element (9) extending through the housing (3), and a receiving element (11) connected to an end of the adjustment element (9). The receiving element (11) is adapted for receiving the object to be mounted on the wall. The device (1) further comprises a locking element (13) arranged within said housing (3) for locking movement of the adjustment element (9), the locking element (13) being arranged to be selectively movable between a movement restriction state and a movement allowing state. Further, a release mechanism (15) is arranged in the housing (3) for selectively moving the locking element (13) from the movement restriction state to the movement allowing state, wherein the movement of the release mechanism (15) is controlled by moving the receiving element (11) away from the wall.

The invention relates to a fastening device having at least one positionable holding device, comprising a base plate having an extensively flat rear surface and a front surface, opposite the rear surface, wherein a first guide channel is formed on the front surface. The guide channel is delimited by side walls, wherein engagement areas are formed at least in sections on at least one of the side walls. According to the invention, a slide element is arranged in the guide channel, which can be displaced along the guide channel, wherein the slide element has a carrying element, wherein two spring elements are formed on the slide element, which can engage with the engagement surfaces of the guide channel in a blocking position, and wherein there is a movable locking element on the slide element, which fastens the spring elements at least in the blocking position.

An adjustable fastener is provided. The adjustable fastener includes an elongated main body and a mounting bracket for receiving the main body therein. The elongated main body includes a plurality of teeth along the length of the main body. The mounting bracket includes a latching mechanism disposed on a front face thereof, the latching mechanism having a first end including a release lever and a second end including a plurality of ribs extending into an interior volume of the mounting bracket. The ribs on the second end of the latching mechanism engage with the teeth on the main body to slidably secure the main body within the mounting bracket, thereby providing a vertically adjustable fastener.

Provided is, among other things, an apparatus for facilitating the hanging of an object on a wall or other surface. This apparatus includes: a main body section having a first surface; an upper section connected to the main body section and having a protruding portion that protrudes away from the first surface; a lower section connected to the main body section and having an opening for accepting and holding a hanging/attachment element; and a securing mechanism. At least one of the upper section or the lower section is a slidable section that is slidably attached to the main body section and thereby capable of moving vertically up and down the main body section, but can be temporarily fixed at an arbitrary position along the main body section using the securing mechanism.

An apparatus for mounting objects disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a first mounting arm comprising a first portion affixed to a first surface and a second portion coupled to a frame, wherein the second portion is rotatably coupled to the first portion; and a second mounting arm comprising a first portion affixed to a second surface and a second portion coupled to the frame, wherein the second portion is rotatably coupled to the first portion. The first mounting arm and the second mounting arm define an axis of rotation about which the frame rotates, wherein the axis of rotation comprises a first angle relative to the first surface and a second angle relative to the second surface, wherein the first angle and the second angle are substantially congruent and less than 90-degrees.

A frame which has a wire extending across a rear of the frame is hung on a wall by an integral flexible spring member shaped to define a center mounting plate fastened to lie flat on the wall and a spring strap standing at right angles to the plate with a pair of arms each extending outwardly from the mounting plate along the wall to a respective side of the mounting plate. The arms receive and locate the wire extending along the arms and depending from ends of the arms to the sides of the frame. The arms can flex and the arms allow longitudinal movement of the wire along the arms to allow movement of the frame side to side relative to the mounting plate. A stiffening rod can be inserted onto the strap.

A wall hanger extension device comprising a base portion and an extension portion, the base portion comprising a first end and a second end oppositely positioned from one another about the base portion and the extension portion comprising a proximal end and a distal end oppositely positioned from one another about the extension portion. The second end of the base portion is connected to the proximal end of the extension portion. The base portion comprises a base cavity extending into the base portion at the first end. The extension portion comprises a plurality of sections, wherein each of the plurality of sections is separable from the extension portion.

In accordance with one embodiment, I presently contemplate a cruciform support base (20), semi-circular dial (10), and concentric semi-circular brace (16) that work together to support the corner of a record and/or planar article. The dial (10) and brace (16) are fastened to the support base (20) and machined in such a way that they form a simple, economical, and adaptable mechanical unit (24). Once paired with a minimum number of units, and mounted to a wall, they cooperate to display any number of records, planar articles, and/or combination thereof in an attractive, tight, grid-like configuration. Furthermore, the design of this system also allows for any one record and/or planar article to be easily retrieved or stored with the swipe of a finger.
